A month later, the team was already approaching the mainland of Purnes, and the nautical experts expected to arrive in about ten more days. The training of nautical knowledge is mainly astronomy and geography, the emergence of the compass solves the problem of direction, and after I first proposed the concept of the north-south magnetic field, scientists also understood the principle of the compass.

At this moment, the soldier reported that there was a person in the sea ahead who was crying for help, and this person was floating in the water with a plank, and I also laughed, this man was good enough, not only was he not eaten by a shark in the sea, but he could also meet us to save him, so he must be a key character in the story. I'd love to find out.

The man was quickly rescued, speaking in English, and I heard it absolutely right, because I heard "three grams of oil".

English is the lingua franca of the Purence Empire, sorry, I won't. But I was prepared, and some of the Plunse people who were arrested at the beginning were very talented in languages, and in just a few years they spoke Chinese properly, so they became university foreign language professors, which was much more comfortable than working on the construction site, and they had a salary and status, and they became official citizens of the Shuirou Empire.

So there was a group of translators who were proficient in English, and they also had some basic understanding of the Purence Empire.

The Emperor of the Purance Empire is Felide Ross of the Rose family, and the Ross family is the royal family of the Purence Empire, which has lasted for hundreds of years, and now the control of the empire is somewhat inadequate.

The Purence Empire has three first-class principalities, eight second-class principalities, and more than a dozen small states, and its territory is larger than that of the Five Elements Alliance.

The Duchy of the Sun, the Duchy of Alpha and the Duchy of Effed are of the first class, and the Duchy of East Senwei, West Will, Willis, Grass, Horis, Memphis, Garance and Alijus are the Duchy of the Second Class. It turns out that these second-class principalities were also split from the former first-class principalities. In the past, the two principalities of Vladivostok and Solomon went to war, and the Rus family took the opportunity to disintegrate the two principalities in order to weaken the power of the principality, and the Duke of Wichwich and Duke Rogge were also imprisoned, and later died of depression in prison.

The rescued man said a lot, and the translator could only wait for him to finish before relaying: "Hello, thank you for saving your life, I am Henry, the steward of the Duke of Edward's Mansion in the Duchy on which the sun never sets, and the son of Count Edward of Lotz did not listen to the advice of the Duke, and privately led his troops out to sea to search for pirates, and was defeated by pirates in the Strait of Malacca, and the Earl of Lotz was also captured on Jones Island. ”

I smiled and said, "Your Duchy is so bad that the sun never sets, and the little pirates can't settle it, so it can be solved with a high-explosive bomb in our Shuirou Empire."

The interpreter didn't know what to say, so he had to say that the little pirate would be destroyed casually.

Henry was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Your Excellency can save the prince, the Duke will definitely thank you!" ”

I said, "How much does it weigh?" It costs money to move my aircraft and artillery casually, so let's sign an agreement, you are responsible for the war losses, can you call the shots? ”

Henry hesitated and said, "As long as I can save the son, I will definitely convince him to sign the agreement." ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, if he doesn't want to, I'll throw him into the sea and feed the fish." ”

Under Henry's guidance, we soon reached the vicinity of Jones Island.

Henry said: "Jones Island is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only in the west there is a port where you can land, but it is heavily guarded by pirates, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

I asked: what weapons did they all use? How many people are there?

Henry replied: "Probably a few thousand, the specific number is not very clear, it is said that it is a pirate, there are people behind it, we suspect that it is the Principality of Alpha, otherwise it will not be able to be exterminated for so many years?" The armament must be provided by Alpha, there should not be too many cannons, there will not be many heavy machine guns, there will definitely be one repeating rifle per person, and there will also be grenades and the like. ”

I have a general understanding, I didn't expect that there are heavy machine guns, and the Shuirou Empire has only been equipped with troops in the past two years, and there are two heavy machine guns on each ship, and there are more light machine guns, and this time I brought hundreds of them.

I asked Chen Zhibing: "General Chen, how do you say this battle will be fought?" ”

To explain, Chen Zhibing is now a vice admiral, and this time he went to sea, Chen Zhibing was appointed commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Chen Zhibing replied: "Boss, if you want to be simple, just throw a few high-explosive bombs and play with it." ”

I rolled my eyes: "Don't you know how expensive that high-explosive bomb is?" If you want to save a little, can you use it with a few pirates? Besides, wouldn't that kill the hostages along with them? ”

Chen Zhibing sneered: "That's not easy, and it costs a lot of money to bombard artillery for half an hour, unless the ground troops can board it unconsciously." ”

I nodded: "That's the point, who said you can't go up anywhere else?" Is that a mountain? It's just more than ten meters high, select a group of top masters to come out, I personally led the team, find a remote place to sneak in, I haven't done it for a long time, my hands and feet are rusty. ”

Soon, Chen Zhibing selected fifty sharp sword warriors, and the lowest cultivation had reached the peak of the Breaking Mystery Realm. Before I came, I had already improved the Sharp Knife Warriors who accompanied me, so my strength was not the same.
